I love the ending. The wrap on the "location shoot" was a boat, in a studio, against a green screen. It must have been a studio in some far flung, exotic locale.

Seeing all these out-takes does enable you to see just how pricey some shows can be. That and I love seeing these 2 "un guarded" as it where.

The rest of the rhyme doesn't go so well: "All the rest have 31, except for February, which has 28, except when the year is a multiple of 4, when it has 29, except when the year is a multiple of 100, when it has 28, except when the year is a multiple of 400, when it has 29." Rolls right off the tongue :)

That's what he meant, he meant it is nice to see them as David Mitchell and Robert Webb in person rather than the people they're acting as. Like how you'd see Leigh Francis when he's not being Keith Lemon.

@mogur00 I'm just guessing but I imagine they're talking about a way to remember which months have 30 days and which have 31; when there's a knuckle its 31, where there's a gap between them it's 30 (or 28 for feb)

"If the year is the last year of a century, eg. 1800, 1900, 2000, then it is only a leap year if it is exactly divisible by 400. Therefore, 1900 wasn't a leap year but 2000 was." - Royal Observatory, Greenwich Also, as a side note, there was no year 0. The first year of the Gregorian calendar A.D. was year 1, and the year immediately preceding it was 1 B.C. Learning is fun! :)

@agiar2000 11 жыл бұрын

No, the fact that there was no year 0 is simply a side note. The real reason that the years that end a century that are not divisible by 400 are not leap years is because the people who defined the Gregorian calendar made a special rule excluding those years. They did this because the amount of time it takes the Earth to revolve around the Sun (a solar year) is slightly less than 365.25 days, so this adjustment was deemed necessary.

@nathanfisher2027 11 жыл бұрын

So is my miscalculation born from the fact that there was no year 0? I have a friend with a degree in maths, and he frequently tells me similar counter-intuitive things. Apparently, if you tied a piece of string round a ping pong ball, and a piece of string round the Earth, and then added a metre to the length of each string, the distance between both pieces of string and the objects they were tied around would be the same. He has "proved" this to me with his maths but I still don't get it.

@docdaneeka3424 7 жыл бұрын

it's just the formula for the circumference of a circle; the circumference is 2 times pi times the radius. So if you make the circumference 1 meter longer, the radius gets bigger by about 16cm - it not matter what the original radius was every time you add 1 meter to the circumference you get 16 cm more radius. It's even easier to think about it for a square rather than a circle: imagine you have a square, with a certain perimeter. Each side is 1/4 of the perimeter, so the width of the square is 1/4 the perimeter. Now if we add 1 meter to the perimeter, each side must get 25cm longer, so the square always gets 25cm wider whenever we add 1 meter to the perimeter - it doesn't matter how big the square is to start with.

What is there to "get"? It's the same as holding, for example, a 16 cm ruler between you and the Earth, or between you and the ping-pong ball (or anything else). In both cases, you're 16 cm away from it. Of course, 16 cm looks like nothing compared to the Earth, and looks quite big compared to the ping-pong ball, but it's the same distance in both cases.

Eh? Multiples of 100 not divisible by 400 are still leap years aren't they? 1900/4 = 475. 1700/4 = 425 etc. The year 100AD was (25 x 4) years after the year 0. Do correct me if I'm missing something here.

I never understood the point of a "system" to know which month has how many days. I mean, you're already memorising their names and their place in the year, how much harder can it be to memorise how many days they have...? I'm pretty sure the knowledge about the mnemonic actually takes up more braincells than that.

@@janesmith699 And November. The general rule is Odd-Even, then the range of exceptions are just a couple regarding July-August being both Even, and February on leap years. And the year of 2000 was a leap year, so subtract the current year with 2000 and add 2 for every decade since past 2000, then if it ends in 0, 4 or 8 it's a leap year.

The beauty of the knuckle method is that it is future proofed. If we ever get two extra months, we'll know how many days to give them.

@@martinh972 - Yeah, though we will have to convince the Earth to slow down by exactly 61 days. Then again, February doesn't have 30 days, so maybe the "valleys" have some margin for negotiation.
